• Resolve procurement issues—such as order delays, invoice discrepancies, and returns—and adjust orders based on inventory or schedule changes.
• Analyze market trends and spend data to inform procurement policy, supplier evaluation frameworks, and strategic sourcing decisions.

• Proven track record of successful vendor negotiations and contract management.
• Strong understanding of IT purchasing cycles and technologies, including AWS.
• Experience running RFPs and evaluating competitive bids.
• Advanced analytical skills for spend tracking and cost modeling.
